Letter: 'Stop Blaming the RTM'

Fairfield resident writes in about the recent passage of the Fiscal Year 2013 town budget.

Stop blaming the RTM who stood their ground and demanded the Town do something about the constant spending. ; they just wanted to stop the increases the Town comes up with every year.

We all live on budgets. If we don’t have enough money, we make do with what we have. Many towns are getting the message. Governor Christie of New Jersey said new civilian workers must work until age 65 and 30 years to get early retirement. All workers must pay more for their pensions and health care. Pensions no longer automatically rise with inflation, but only when the state or town can afford such increases. Come on Fairfield, you can do it. Listen to the people!
